Lush Design Studio Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Hamilton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 January 2020
“We did a massive renovation to our bungalow adding a second storey with a complete overhaul to the first floor. Working with Ljuba made the experience so much better! Her prompt responses, timely delivery and willingness to share her thoughts throughout the process was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. We are super in love with our new home and the design created by Ljuba is highly functional! We definitely recommend working with Lush Design Studio!”

“Mauro truly is an expert when it comes to structural considerations. He's well versed in all the fancy beams and has fantastic handle on the best building materials to use for each application. His extensive knowledge from a technical perspective is so helpful throughout the building permit/inspection process. You're in good hands with Mauro, he'll look after your home as he would his own.”
Wanda Ely Architect Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Hamilton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 January 2014
“My husband and I are currently working with Wanda to update the kitchen of our Toronto century home (my estimates below are projected therefore, rather than actual, as the work is not yet complete). Wanda took time to hear our needs and wants and has been expert at helping us to clarify what those actually are. We had been stalled in the decision making stage for years, and within a few short weeks of working with Wanda, she had helped us to come up with a design that we are very happy with. It works for our esthetic and our budget and solved the design riddles that had plagued us. I had seen some other projects that Wanda worked on and whilst I really admired them, I knew my husband and I would be making very different style choices from those clients. I have been most impressed with Wanda's ability to "get" and work with our eclectic and somewhat undefined tastes as well as our thrifty budget.”
EZDimensions - Home Renovation Design to Permits
Architects & Building Designers in Hamilton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 December 2014
“We hired Erin back in spring 2012 for our Home Renovation and it was one of the better decisions we made. Our home was built in 1920 and our addition required a well thought out design which Erin was able to deliver and help walk us through. Erin exceeded our expectations from her initial visit to discuss what we were looking for in our addition, right through to the final drawings completion and permit delivery.”
BiglarKinyan Design Planning Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Hamilton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 December 2012
“I hired BKDP back in October 2011 to redesign the ground level and 2 second level bathrooms of my home. After interviewing different design companies, both my wife and I felt most comfortable with Fardid and Ken as they were very clear and detailed in explaining the whole design process and how they charge for design and renovation to us. The design process took about 6 weeks and the design was revised a couple of times as we added more items to our wish list. They presented different design and material options to us and guided us to select the design that we like. The renovation took about 3 months to complete and we were very pleased with the end result. During the renovation, their coordinator kept us updated with their progress and schedule without the need of me calling them. And whenever I call or e-mail them with questions concerning the project, they would respond to me right away. We are considering to renovate our basement later on and we would definitely rehire BKDP for their service without hesitation.”
BLDG Workshop Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Hamilton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 August 2013
“We can highly recommend BLDG Workshop with complete confidence. In contrast to the many bumps along the way of our renovation and addition, the design process was exciting and enjoyable. Nathan and his team of professionals were timely and efficient, good at communication, and willing to work with the trades we had hired; however, their best attribute is of course their smart, inspired design! Our favourite part of working with BLDG was the collaborating... they are the experts but they listened to our ideas and were excellent at incorporating our whims and wishes. We will definitely be contacting BLDG the next time we build!”

New Age Design
Architects & Building Designers in Hamilton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 May 2013
“We hired Richard Kossak from New Age Design to create a large family home for us. The project consisted of an existing historical home surrounded by additions on three sides. The design challenge Richard faced was to give us the new space we required and still preserve the existing historical home. His inspiration and experience truly shows in the finished project, we are extremely happy. We can highly recommend New Age Design to anyone who is looking for a professional design experience. Fred Seymour & Carolyn Campbell”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 December 2015
“He is all qualities you could ever want in an architect. Most importantly talent to envision, talent to listen, talent to suggest not take over. And a respected human being. I would hire Gus again and again. From small to large he will provide the same service.”

It is often said when you're building a house, you’re building a dream. An architect or master of building design can make your dream house a reality. Architects can help you design and redesign spaces of your home or focus on helping you build your own house from the ground up. Architectural firms have extensive knowledge of architectural design and building materials, and a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light, and flow within a property. As you search through architects and building designers in Hamilton, ON, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Hamilton, ON architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Hamilton, ON that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

How much does hiring an architect in Hamilton, ON cost?


Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms. Architects sometimes choose to calculate their fees on the basis of a per square foot rate. In rare cases, especially with smaller projects, Hamilton, ON architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee. Make sure the total figure and payment schedule is agreed as part of your contract, particularly if you are trying to accurately estimate the cost of building a house.


Questions to ask prospective Hamilton, ON architects:


  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • Who will be working on my project? (This is very important if you hire an architectural firm)
  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Can you handle my special requests?
  • What is your experience with similar projects/ architectural design and style?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and other subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
  • What will I need to provide?
